My credit card was compromised upon returning from my trip to Aruba. The only places I used my card were at the the two resorts I stayed at and the two car rental agencies I used. I am guessing there's no way to determine where the "weak link" was.

in aruba and all restaurants here in the usa, if we use a credit card, my husband actually follows the server to the credit card machine and does not let the card out of his sight.

rpumpire, how did you catch the compromise? did your credit card company notify you or did you see it online usage?

The credit card company notified me of a suspected fraudulent charge. I then went online and found about a half dozen more fraudulent charges. The company wiped them all off and overnight expressed me a new card with a new number.

calling the credit card customer service tomorrow to notify them of us being in aruba.......that is paul's assignment tomorrow.
i do not have the patience to deal with the recordings and being on hold.

rumpire....it is so easy these days (gosh i am old) to be able to check online at our credit card activity.

Call us old fashioned but we do not have a debit card. We still write checks at the grocery store and use a credit card for almost everything else. We pay the balance every month. If someone gets my CC information, I am protected. If they get your debit card info you are not.

I did my credit cards online in the Customer Service section of both was a Travel notification area. I have NO patience for automated operators and being on hold indefinitely!
